The goblin beast[1] and the caliban are kin of a sort, both being hideously twisted by their exposure to powerful corruptive forces, with the latter being of human stock and the former being of animal or vermin stock. The corruptive aura of hags seems to be especially condusive to the spawning of goblin beasts for the creatures are closely identified with Tepest. Goblins beast are stronger, tougher, and far more cunning creatures than the unpolluted stock from which they are born. Given a mated pair of goblin beasts derived from the same stock, they will breed true. Goblins, and goblins alone, have achieved a degree of control over goblin beasts, making frequent use of them as guards and mounts.
